Our Vacation Bible School theme this year was The Incredible Race. I was the leader of the 3-4 year olds, so I decided to turn our room into one giant airport. The first thing I did was make a giant airplane prop for them to play in and especially to take photos in. It took me about a whole day to make, but it was totally, absolutely worth it! It was about 11 feet long and about 4 feet high. #dramaticplay #airport #airportplay #pretendplay #tutorial #dramaticplayairport #mamawritesreviews

I love snacks! Since my gallbladder surgery though, I’m limited as to what I can eat. I have to eat smaller meals/snacks every few hours and I have to keep it to lower fat/high fiber. After making a few batches, I’ve finally made a trail mix recipe that doesn’t make me sick and tastes really good! #recipes #trailmix #snackmix #cashews #almonds #mamawritesreviews #popcornrecipes #honeycomb #cranberries #blueberries #lowfat #highfiber #snackrecipes #snacks #cashewrecipes #almondrecipes #goldfish

Blue light glasses are awesome! https://amzn.to/2KMSKG0 Haven't heard of them? Well, what they do is help ease digital eye strain. Blue light has increased in our lives with the increase of all those "screens": phones, tablets, computers, TVs, etc, etc. etc. Even energy-efficient LEDs and CFL lights have blue light.

ALL. THE. TOYS. My kids have SO MANY TOYS, it's almost embarrassing!

Froot Loop loves playing with magnets. He has them all over the house: refrigerator, dishwasher, easel, etc. We have the standard letters and numbers and a bunch of random sets I’ve picked up over the years. I also have dozens of magnets on my refrigerator.

I never thought I’d let a dog sleep in bed with me. I’m a pretty poor sleeper (which is why my husband sleeps in another room!), so I didn’t think I’d sleep well enough with my pup at my side; however, I have succumbed to letting her share my bed. #mamawritesreviews #dogs #sleep #doglovers #lifewithdogs #mansbestfriend #lovemydogs

I haven't been able to eat much in the way of "tasty" food for months now, both before and after my gallbladder removal.I think it's slowly getting better since my surgery, but my doc says it could be several months before I can eat "normally" again (there is no such thing for me!) #mamawritesreviews #pizza #pizzatoppings #favorite #favoritethings #mamasfavoritethings #pepperoni #pineapple #chicken #onion #spinach #tomato #peppers #garlic #bacon #basil #ham #sausage #mushrooms #olives #sardines

I've compiled a bunch of questions I've been asked about lightning over the years. Some of these are a little repetitive and some are sort of basic, but here's a bunch of information about lightning!

When the SPC (Storm Prediction Center) and the NWS (National Weather Service) issue severe thunderstorm, flood, and tornado watches and warnings, they do so because there are significant risks to lives and property. Listed below are some threats we commonly see in thunderstorms.

I have always been a big fan of having a planner. I like being organized and seeing everything in front of me. I also like to make my planners colorful and put things in them that make me happy since I look at it every day. #planner #plannergirl #planneraddicts #plannerinspiration #plannerclips #plannerlayout #plannerorganization #planners #plannersupplies #plannersetup #discbound #mamawritesreviews #householdbinder #familycalendar #mamasfavoritethings #plannerbands

I instituted a new system in our household this year. In addition to using a very detailed planner and household binder, we use a filing system to keep track of papers and small things we need. It’s actually a pretty easy system. #homedecor #organization #mamawritesreviews #journal #filingsystem #filing #familybinder #notebook #family #schedule

I’ll come out and say it: I am a terrible housewife. I HATE cleaning. I am bad at it. I don’t sleep well so I am tired and worn out and so on. But, I have made it a priority to get the house clean and keep it clean. I decided to take every cleaning task I could think of and divide them into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly lists and just GET THEM DONE. #cleaningtips #cleaning #free #printables #cleaningschedule #cleaninghacks #cleaningtricks #cleaningthehouse #mamawritesreviews

I guess there's a trend that when a younger sibling is born, to give the older one a present too. One of the presents that Froot Loop got was a fun sensory toy called bristle blocks. #bristleblocks #sensory #sensoryplay #review #mamawritesreviews #mamasfavoritethings #toyreview #blocks #toysfortoddlers #preschool #primaryschool #educationaltoys #stemtoys #steamtoys #learningtoys Educational Activities For Kids, Craft Activities For Kids, Learning Toys, Kids Crafts, Kids Parenting, Age Appropriate Toys, Social Media Schedule

Our Vacation Bible School theme this year was The Incredible Race. I was the leader of the 3-4 year olds, so I decided to turn our room into one giant airport. The first thing I did was make a giant airplane prop for them to play in and especially to take photos in. It took me about a whole day to make, but it was totally, absolutely worth it! It was about 11 feet long and about 4 feet high. #dramaticplay #airport #airportplay #pretendplay #tutorial #dramaticplayairport #mamawritesreviews Outdoor Activities For Kids, Toddler Activities, Learning Activities, Everyday Activities, Gentle Parenting, Vacation Bible School, Pictures Online, School Themes

Fortunately, I have kids who are willing to drink water. We always try to remember to bring a water bottle with us wherever we go. One of the easiest ways to keep drinking water is with a filtered water bottle, and now Brita has some in kid-friendly colors, patterns, and sizes. #mamawritesreviews #mamasfavoritethings #waterbottle #water #waterforkids #reusable #reusablewaterbottle #reducereuserecycle #brita #filteredwaterbottle #waterbottlesforkids #sports #butterfly #geometric #schoolsupplies Brita Bottle, Indoor Activities For Kids, Children Activities, Filter Bottle, Filtered Water Bottle, Kid Drinks, Reusable Water Bottles, Drink More Water
